Some questions regarding math typesetting
by TeXnician 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

Dear list, while doing some math typesetting, I have found the following features not working in LMTX: 1. Non-displaystyle operators are simply not shown (try \sum or \lim in text or scriptstyle). This works in MkIV (and iirc in LMTX versions from before november). 2. \underbrace{x}_{y} stopped working. It produces an underbrace but the subscript is not centered below the brace. It will show up as right subscript. This works in MkIV. 3. \startformulas does not allow numbering formulas because the number will run into the next column. I have posted this at https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/518262/context-number-formulas-side… and Henri Menke tested that it broke in 2017. Aditya Mahajan mentioned that it is a bug. For the upper two cases: Is anything wrong with my LMTX installation or did I miss some upgrade instructions for math in LMTX? Many thanks for an answer.

Last names in citations
by Fulvio Satta 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hi, probably my question is not a very hard one but I don't find a way to do what I'm trying to do. If I use \cite[authoryears] ConTeXt uses last names in the citation. That's what I want, but I want to use another style for my task, that I defined this way: \definebtx[aps:cite:margin][authorconversion=normalshort] \startsetups btx:aps:cite:margin \texdefinition{btx:aps:title} \texdefinition{btx:aps:author} \doiftextelse\currentbtxrighttext{ \currentbtxrighttext } { \removeunwantedspaces \removepunctuation } this works and is perfect for my style, but I obtain the full names, and not just the last names. How can I obtain something similar to the citation I'm using, but with just last names?

Multistandard PDF
by Robin Schwab 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hi, I am looking for a LaTeX system that can create accessible PDF so I tried ConTeXt. In current ConTeXt it seems to be impossible to specify more than one \setupbackend[format Minimal example: \setupbackend[format={pdf/a-3a,pdf/ua-1,pdf/x-4}] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext I get an error: backend > profiles > error, format 'pdf/a-3a,pdf/ua-1,pdf/x-4' is not supported Why should I have to choose whether my PDF is accessible to search engines, the disabled or the print-shop? Shouldn't everybody be able to access my document? Regards Robin

The MWE below when compiled with mkiv gives a one page document, whereas lmtx gives a blank pdf with 171 pages. \definepapersize[screen][width=1920px,height=1080px] \setuppapersize [screen][screen] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext

repeat a page inside a document
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \input knuth \page[right] \setuplayout[page] \externalfigure[\jobname.pdf][page=1] \stoptext My question is how to get a page from the document you‘re compiling repeated inside the same document. I have tried to search both i-context.pdf and the wiki, but “mirror” and “repeat” seem to be bad options. Many thanks in advance, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

European style Circuitikz error
by Jan-Erik Hägglöf 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

In page 8 inte e Circuitikz manual the settings to get European style components e.g resistors like rectangular boxes instead of default looking. It says this \usemodule[circuitikz][american] When I do this \usemodule[circuitikz][european] It gives an error. ! Package pgfkeys Error: I do not know the key '/tikz/short' and I am going to ignore it. Perhaps you misspelled it. So it must be some other way to set this, how do I make it possible? Thanks in advance /Janne

Problem with \setuparranging
by context＠vivaldi.net 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hello, I need to create a document where page arranging is mixed somhow - so that some pages are to be typeset "normally", some other placed "2 pages onto 1 page". All pages should appear as A3 size. A simplified code follows; its goal is: - page 1: to be one external figure of size A3 (red), - page 2: to be composed of one page of size A4 (green) on the left half, some text on the right half, - page 3: to be one external figure of size A3 (the same as on page 1) - page 4: to be composed of one page of size A4 on the left half, some text on the right half (as on page 2). The (unwanted) result is: - page 1: as expected, - page 2: as expected, - page 3: surprisignly A4 (red) (whilst the figure is of A3), - page 4: surprisingly A3, but some text on the left half, and no green A4. Is \setuparranging limited somehow or intended for another use? How to generate "Goal.pdf" instead of "t.pdf"? Best regards, Lukas

Dear list, I cannot get this working: \setuppapersize[A9] \setupbodyfont[26pt] \setbreakpoints[compound] \starttext 1989/3242/CEE\\ 2009/3926/UE\\ \stoptext I mean, line isn’t broken after any "/". Is this a bug in MkXL (and MkIV) or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

The following code gives an error, my goal is to draw 4 different arrows but only three functions successfully. The error log shows metapost > initializing number mode 'scaled' metapost log > metapost log > loading metafun, including plain.mp version 1.004 for metafun iv and xl metapost log > metapost log > >> unknown path D metapost log > ! Isolated expression. metapost log > <to be read again> metapost log > : metapost log > <*> ... :=(12cm, -1cm)--(11cm, -1cm); path D ; D : metapost log > =(4cm, -1cm)--(3cm, -1cm)... metapost log > And the code is as follows \startMPcode path A ; A :=(0cm, -1cm)--(1cm, -1cm); path B ; B :=(13.5cm, -1cm)--(14.5cm, -1cm); path C ; C :=(12cm, -1cm)--(11cm, -1cm); path D ; D : =(4cm, -1cm)--(3cm, -1cm); drawarrow A; drawarrow B; drawarrow C ; drawarrow D ; \stopMPcode Unless I uncomment D it gives the above error. Mysterious issue /Janne
